Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Help Tips & Tricks Revive Wyll?

Hi everyone!

I hope this text won't spoil you anything; however, if you are afraid even minor spoilers stop reading this post.
The problem is that I somehow managed to miss that Wyll has been killed by goblins while there they attacking Druids Camp. I've realized that only after 6+ hours in the game. Also, a leader tiffling in a camp (don't remember his name) said that the Blade of Frontier (Wyll's nickname) tried to attack the goblin leader and has been killed.

Could someone tell me if this is over for Wyll and I have to restart my game before the goblin attack or there's a chance I will see Wyll further in the game? For example, in the goblin camp?

Thank you!

He dead!
On my first play I kept thinking that Wyll is near the end of EA, only after googling I realised that some idiot who jumped from gates and failed to land it in that goblin fight is my last origin character.
You will have to start over if you want him in party. Keep in mind he is guy with "hero" personality depending on your play he can rebel if you go for evil play.

Thank you for the answer!

Ahah, I have the same impression: why is this dude even jumped there, for what reason? Oh, he is dead after 1-2 dice rolls.. OK, nevermind, probably some generic NPC. After a couple of hours of gameplay - wait, it was, Wyll... Whut? =).
Larian, please, consider a bit of change for the first introduction of a character or slightly change his waypoints regarding the attack. Obviously, there're a lot of people who will just miss that character due to the fact that he could die so easily in the beginning.
It seems that I will till the final release. The game is brilliant, probably the best RPG of 2020\2021 for me. However, I can't spend additional 6-7 hours for the Early Access- it is too time-consuming for me.

I got to the gates, he BARELY lived through the fight, and then Wyll attacked me because my wizard did an aoe cantrip (I assume this is why he attacked me) on a goblin next to Wyll. So I killed him thinking he was a random NPC. Only 3 hours later did I learn he was a possible companion. 100% suggest they make his recruitment a bit less problematic. Kinda felt crappy from a new player perspective to miss an origin character so easily.

He attacked me at the end of the fight as well but I hadn't used any aoe and he had taken 0 damage he just said oh you like to fight lets fight
